ANAHEIM, Calif. cheap jerseys . -- Brandon Moss tied a career high with five RBIs, including his second homer in two games, and the Oakland Athletics extended their winning streak to seven games with an 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. Moss finished with four hits. His other five-RBI game was on Sept. 29 against Seattle, when he hit a game-ending, three-run homer in the 10th inning to give Oakland a 7-4 victory. It came during a season-ending six-game winning streak that propelled the As to their first AL West title since 2006. Tommy Milone (2-0) threw 106 pitches over five innings, allowing four runs, seven hits and three walks while striking out five. Joe Blanton (0-2) was charged with six runs and 10 hits in five-plus innings and did not record a strikeout in his second outing with his new club. The 32-year-old right-hander had made 118 consecutive starts with at least one strikeout since May 31, 2008, when he pitched six innings for the Athletics without one in an 8-4 loss at Texas. The As were the only major league team Blanton had never faced. He made his first 118 career starts with them between 2005 and 2008, winning a career-high 16 games in 2007. Moss hit a two-run triple in the third, then extended Oaklands lead to 5-2 in the fifth with a two-out solo homer to right-centre. It was the fourth allowed by Blanton, who gave up three in his season debut at Cincinnati after allowing a combined 29 home runs last season with the Phillies and Dodgers. Moss, who had career highs last season with 21 homers and 52 RBIs in just 84 games, got his fourth RBI on a bases-loaded walk during a five-run sixth. He capped his big night with a broken-bat single in the seventh after Angels third baseman Alberto Callaspo dropped a two-out popup by Yoenis Cespedes, allowing Coco Crisp to advance from first to third. The Angels cut Oaklands margin to 5-4 in the fifth with a two-run single by Howie Kendrick after Milone struck out sluggers Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo. The As grabbed a 4-1 lead with three runs in the third after Eric Sogard led off with a single to right and continued to second on Hamiltons error. John Jaso, who hit a go-ahead, three-run homer as a pinch-hitter in Oaklands series-opening 9-5 win on Tuesday night, singled home Sogard with the go-ahead run and Moss triple delivered two more. The Angels got a run back in the bottom half when Albert Pujols singled, Hamilton doubled him to third and Trumbo followed with a run-scoring groundout. Crisp opened the game with a single, stole second and scored on Jed Lowries groundout. The Angels tied it in the bottom half on Hamiltons sacrifice fly, which came after a single by Callaspo and a double by Pujols. The three-time NL MVP hit another double in the fifth for his 1,000th extra-base hit and finished the night 4 for 4. This is only the second time in 22 years that the As have won their first five road games. They also did it in 2008. NOTES: Oakland 2B Scott Sizemore has re-torn the ACL in his left knee and is out for the rest of the season after missing last year rehabbing from surgery on it. The injury occurred on Tuesday when he went out to short right field on bloop single by Mike Trout that fell between him and Chris Young. "Unbelievable," manager Bob Melvin said. "Its just awful. Hes one of those guys you really pull for, because hes such a good guy and cares so much and wants to win. Hes coming off two difficult surgeries in the last several years, and to have a third one is devastating. Were thinking about him, but I cant imagine whats going through his mind right now." ... Angels switch-hitting SS Erick Aybar was out of the lineup with a bruised left heel that forced him out of Tuesdays game. "Were just hopeful its something thatll calm down here in the next couple days and we can get a read on it. But right now its very sore," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Ericks a tough kid. And when hes hurting and comes out of a game, you know its significant." ... OF-1B Brad Hawpe agreed to a minor league contract with the Angels, and will play for their Triple-A Salt Lake club after taking part in extended spring workouts in Tempe, Ariz. ...

REGINA -- Canadas Jeff Stoughton picked up his third straight win to open the Ford Mens World Curling Championship on Sunday despite German skip Andy Kapps one-man show. Stoughtons Winnipeg team shot 90 per cent to Germanys 71 in a 7-4 victory, but Kapp compensated for his teammates mistakes with some pressure shots to keep the game close. "Andy Kapp was a one-man wrecking crew," said Stoughton third Jon Mead. "At times it felt like seven against one out there. "We have to give credit to Andy Kapp because that could have been a blowout for sure." Canada scored two points in the third and seventh ends with last-rock advantage and stole one in the tenth, while Germany couldnt muster a multi-point end when they had the hammer. Kapp drew for a piece of the button surrounded by three Canadian stones in the fourth end to tie the game 2-2. The Germany skip faced four Canadian counters in the sixth and again drew in for one to make it 3-3. "Its good to know weve got the game to hold off a hot skip and make some great shots ourselves," Stoughton said. Stoughtons front end of second Reid Carruthers and lead Steve Gould dominated German counterparts Andreas Lang and Holger Hoehne with shooting percentages about 20 per cent higher. "I had to make some circus shots to keep us alive, but it was not enough to win this game," Kapp said. "We needed to make more shots to put pressure on them, but we were under pressure the whole game." Canada got a breather Sunday with just on game on the schedule before splitting their Monday games between the morning and evening draws. Stoughton takes on Dong Keun Lee of South Korea (0-3) followed by Pete Fenson of the U.S. (1-2) at night. Scotlands Tom Brewster moved into a tie with Stoughton at 3-0 with a 10-6 win over Switzerlands Christof Schwaller in Sundays late draw. Yansong Ji of China entered the late draw unbeaten, but fell 8-5 to Jiri Snitil of the Czzech Republic. cheap nfl jerseys. In other late draw results, Swedens Niklas Edin hammered Fenson 11-2 and Kapp rebounded to edge Norways Thomas Ulsrud 9-8, Kapp, in his 13th world championship, earned his 67th career win, the most by any skip in championship history. China, the Czechs, Sweden and France were all tied for third at 2-1. Germany, Switzerland, Norway and the U.S. followed at 1-2. Tommy Stjerne of Denmark and South Korea were winless at 0-3. The preliminary round concludes Thursday, with the four best records in the field of 12 countries advancing to the Page playoff next weekend. "You hate to stumble because it gives guys a chance, so we want to go strong and get as many wins as possible before we get a loss," said Stoughton, winner of the world title in 1996 and runner-up in 1999. Ulsrud, considered a contender for the world title after winning Olympic and world silver medals last year, lost both his games Sunday after needing an extra end to get by South Korea 8-7 in his opener Saturday. "It is a little bit of a surprise because hes struggling, but I dont expect them not to be playing on the weekend," Stoughton said. Canadas three games on the weekend drew near-capacity crowds to Reginas Brandt Centre, which holds about 6,300. Stoughtons team curls out of the Charleswood Curling Club in Winnipeg, but theyve been well-supported in Saskatchewan. "Truth be told, we havent given them a lot to cheer about, because its sort of been a mucker game," Stoughton said. "Every game has been not that exciting, just try and get a deuce and no spectacular shots. At least were getting the wins. Once you win, its a great feeling with the crowd cheering you on." The 47-year-old systems manager for Air Canada says his team was settling in Sunday after the adrenaline rush of Saturday, when the hosts downed Switzerland 8-4 and Denmark 9-5. "Ill take 3-0 any day," Stoughton said. ' ' '
